It is great to be with you. Thank you for that welcome. I normally do not get a like that in washington, d. C. We are here to tell a little bit of the truth about what is going on. I am having to leave right after this to go and do an interview. With an ambassador that was relieved of her duty as part of the impeachment effort. I think it is time we sent adam schiff home. Instead of the president of the united states. I think it is time. What do you think . [applause] they love to do these things in secret. They love to try to have a narrative form a narrative trying to impeach this president. The people spoke in november, 2016. They spoke loudly saying we need a change. We need to drain the swamp. President donald trump is doing exactly that. Hes doing exactly that. [applause] rep. Meadows i have had the opportunity to be the chairman of the Freedom Caucus. For some of you that do not know, we started a small group that said we needed to get together and it had a few patriots. Patriots like congressman jim jordan from ohio. [applause] rep. Meadows and im here today to let you know that i am looking for his jacket. I know it is here somewhere. [laughter] jim is my best friend in congress. There is not a man who is willing to speak the truth in the face of adversity more than jim jordan. If you are from ohio, youre blessed to have him as a member of congress. [applause] rep. Meadows but the Freedom Caucus was designed to give a voice to millions of americans who thought washington, d. C. , and forgotten him. All of had forgotten them. I know that all of you who have been engaged have truly sometimes put your life on hold. Either way, these teleprompters have nothing on them. So i just want to let you know this is not a barack obama speech. [laughter] so when you start to look at america. And the fact that washington, d. C. Has lost its way. It is time that we restore that. We need to have some kind of vaccination for the potomac fever. [laughter] it is amazing when members of congress and senators get elected. You go out and you work hard and make sure that they make a difference. They get elected, they raise the right hand, they say theyre going to defend the constitution. Theyre going to support your values. They come across the Potomac River and they lose their mind. [laughter] all of a sudden theyive said it before and i might as well say it again. They have the backbone of a banana. [laughter] when you peel it back, gets real mushy. [laughter] it is time we elect people who have a backbone of steel and are willing to stand up for the values that our god holds dear. [applause] they are trying to do all of this in secret. Just a few miles from here this morning. In fact they issued a subpoena a few minutes ago to compel the witness to come forward and testify. But they are not seeking truth. They are seeking a narrative. They are seeking a narrative they have already written the final conclusion too. Because they started three years ago. Even before this president was sworn in, they were talking about impeachment and they are bound and determined to do it. We need to send a clear message. If they do it, we will send them home with. We need to send that. [applause] we are not taking this sitting down or lying down. We are going to stay in the fight because of people like you that continue to encourage us to stay in the fight. I can tell you, being a member of congress was never on my bucket list. [laughter] in fact, i can member the time i felt like i was being called to actually run for congress. And because it was not on my bucket list i actually had a wonderful life, in the mountains of Western North carolina. I called my wife that particular day and said, honey, i feel like the lord is leading me to run for congress. And she said, honey if that is the way you are being led, i will support you in that. And all of a sudden, this sick feeling [laughter] came over me. Because i do not like to get up in front of people and i did not like to be in the limelight. I just wanted to have a private life that did not involve coming and speaking for hundreds and thousands of people. So i got this ill feeling. So ill that i had to pull over the car on the side of the road and throw up. [laughter] but sometimes youre called to do things that bring you out of your comfort zone. Then if youre here today because youre out of your comfort zone and you love this country and believe it is worth fighting for. [applause] and i thank you for that. I thank you for that. You may have heard about a resolution floating around. The new chairman of the Freedom Caucus, andy biggs, hit the ground running. He put forth a resolution that said, we need to censure adam schiff for making up his opening testimony [applause] and it is time we hold him accountable. There are 104 members that have signed onto that resolution. It is growing every day. If your member has not signed on, you need to call and make them seem a lot make him see the light. And if they do not see the light you make you need to make them feel the heat. And if you can do that i will tell you that those backbones that are like bananas start to stiffen up if they hear from hundreds if not thousands of people back home. Because theres only one thing that member of Congress Fears and theres that is being voted out of office. And theres only one group that can do that. That is you, we the people. Need to make sure we hold our luck elected officials accountable. Our elected officials accountable. It is time it. [applause] it is being put forth. I can tell you that right now. When adam schiff starts to make up things. And this is being covered, so im sure it is being tweeted right now. When adam schiff makes up things, it is time to call him out for making up things and actually make sure he is held accountable. It is time that we hold him accountable. [applause] i was in a transcribed interview the other day, we had ambassador boko there. They brought him in. The democrats wanted to make sure that we have cash they wanted to change the rules, they said we want to make sure we have an unfair advantage. Will that is not changing the rules is it . They wanted to make sure that the democrats staff, the majority staff in the house actually had more people in the room to be able to question the witness and that the republican staff, they did not want the member of staff the memos of congress to ask questions. So they said november, was can ask questions. Last time i checked, most of the people of the 435 in the house and 100 and the senate, they are the only ones in washington, d. C. , who are actually elected to represent the people. Yet, somehow, the democrats felt like it was best to silence people like jim jordan. Devin nunes. And people who actually know the subject. So adam schiff was saying, we do not want members to ask questions. I can tell you that particular transcribed interview was going so poorly for the democrats after the third hour, adam schiff says well im going to break my own rule and im going to ask when he five minutes of questions. You not hear any of that reported in the media. Why . Because they leak out the Text Messages to give a particular narrative that was not supported by the actual interview that we conducted for over 10 hours. If they are about transparency, lets be transparent. Lets let the American People decide for themselves. What do you think . [applause] im also here to tell you this president is the most prolife president we have ever had in the history of our country, bar none. Bar none. He is willing to fight. [applause] when a certain governor from virginia talked about that you need to make someone comfortable before you murder them after they have been born, this president saw that not only is offensive but morally wrong and called out for what it is, murder. He is willing to stand with us on that issue. [applause] but i can also tell you this president is serious about keeping his campaign promises. You know, early on in the administration i tell the story, and i will not go through all the details, today, but i was actually there in the oval office. I got to go to the oval office. I know comes as a shock to many of you, i was never invited there under the previous administration. [laughter] but as i went there, there was a huge whiteboard in a side room, just off the oval office. On that whiteboard was every Single Campaign promise he had made when he had made it and they were going down checking them off one by one. Because this is a promise keeping president. [applause] he also works harder than anyone ive ever met. I mean he will work all through the night. I mean, there are phone calls he makes in the middle of the night. He will often times go on two or three hours of sleep. We saw that last night. He was in minneapolis. Well, there is one conservative. There are three conservatives from minneapolis. But you know what we had last night . Was an arena for love conservatives who said they want their Government Back as well. When they were there. And it was electrifying. We are talking about minnesota. We are not talking about alabama. And yet, the same yearning for we the people to take control of what we do is alive in minnesota, in maine, in california, in new york, and in between and everywhere else. If we allow that little flicker to start to grow into a huge blaze, not only will we win in 2020, but we will win with landslide proportions in spite of what the Mainstream Media and the polls will say today. [applause] and i think it is time that we put a little fire on the fire. It is time. [applause] so i just need to give you a bit of the background. They have these three nice monitors here in front of me. And they have this big clock. It is probably, the clock has numbers that are maybe a foot tall. [laughter] and that is good because our glasses. Most members of congress when it hits zero give you their 10 point closing plan right about then. [laughter] im not going to do that today. But i do want to share from a my heart and ask you for two things. One, a lot of people think that our nation will be healed by the policy that happens just a few miles from here. And im here to tell you that our nation will be healed with committed levers and people on their knees before their heavenly father praying for our plan each and every day. [applause] if you will pray, if you will pray, he will be faithful. So i would ask you to pray for our nation. The second thing i would ask you to do, is to pray and encourage this president. Pray for him and encourage him, because i can tell you the attacks he is under, i do not know how any person has ever been able to stand up to such attacks. I get concerned at times because the attacks are unrelenting. He would inc. They would even have a day or two break and they just keep coming. Yet i can tell you that even the schemes of the democrats right now are not having an effect on this president or this country. Because ultimately, he has one priority. That is to put the will of the people, your priorities, first. Unlike anybody else that i have ever seen. He truly has. [applause] he is willing to do things that only other president s have talked about. Because we know that we can look no further than in jerusalem there is now an embassy where there was only a promise before. [applause] [cheers and applause] he made a commitment and he was consistent with that commitment and he delivered on that commitment. It is with that same type of resolve that were going to see this president run through the finish tape in november 2020. When we have four more years to actually turn this country back to its rightful owner. [applause] which is we the people. This president and the first lady are willing to sacrifice so much, so that we can truly live in one nation under god. I want to share this personal story and humility. Im a nobody from nowhere. I really am. If you were trying to figure out if this guy was ever going to be a member of congress, the betting odds were not good. Not that you should be betting. [laughter] debbie and i had the opportunity to attend a state dinner in honor of the australian Prime Minister here a few weeks ago. And we went and as anybody who has ever been on her to go to a state dinner, you fill privileged just to be invited you feel privileged just to be invited. I looked around and kept saying honey, what are you and i doing here . And i share that, not to share the fact that we were there, but to share the fact that the first lady and the president made a decision. It was unbelievable. We had military bands from all branches of the service. Violence. But they made a determination to sing and play the battle hymn of the republic. Now, if you know the battle hymn of the republic, it is one of those that just brings that sense of patriotism and pride and sometimes a few tears. And they could have left that out they could have left out a verse. One of those verses really talked about christ being born across the seas. And yet, they made a decision to make a strong statement, not just to the visitors were there, not just to the difference there, but really to the nation at large. That indeed we are a nation that is endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, that are not given. And to recognize that. And to see that. Brought tears to my eyes. It was one of those times when as we were finishing up, with that battle hymn of the republic, and him dying for us, and some of our sons and daughters die for freedom, there is a calling on each one of us. And i share that because this president and first lady, against all odds, are willing to stand in the gap. Rep. Meadows to stand shoulder to shoulder with each one of you and believe we are a country that once again can be godfearing and god honoring. Thank you, god bless you, thank you for allowing me to come and be a part of the team. God bless you. Thank you.
